A client has a pressure ulcer that is full thickness with necrosis into the subcutaneous tissue
down to the underlying fascia. The nurse should document the assessment finding as which

Stage III

involving the epidermis, dermis, or both; the ulcer is superficial and may present as an abrasion,
blister, or shallow crater. A stage III pressure ulcer involves full thickness tissue loss with visible
subcutaneous fat. Bone, tendon, and muscle are not exposed [Show Less]
